C Keep the transportation safety bolts in a safe place to reuse when the washing machine needs to be moved again in the future.

C Never move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!

Connecting water supplyC The water supply pressure required

to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 10 MPa). It is necessary to have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.

C If you are going to use the double water-inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the supplied stopper to the hot water valve before operating the product. (Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)

C If you want to use both water inlets of the product, connect the hot water hose after removing the stopper and gasket group from the hot water valve. (Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)

A Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry

will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate.

A Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.

1. Connect the special hoses supplied with the product to the water inlets on the product. Red hose (left) (max. 90 ºC) is for hot water inlet, blue hose (right) (max. 25 ºC) is for cold water inlet.

A Ensure that the cold and hot water connections are made correctly when installing the product. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing process and wear out.

2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a wrench when tightening the nuts.

3. Open the taps completely after making the hose connection to check for water leaks at the connection points. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. To prevent water leakages and damages caused by them, keep the taps closed when the machine is not in use.

10 EN

Connecting to the drain• The end of the drain hose must be

directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

A Your house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! To prevent such situations and to ensure smooth water intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.

• The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most.

• In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.

• To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the hose end into the dirty water or drive it in the drain more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.

• The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between the drain and the machine.

• If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with

an appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak.

Adjusting the feetA In order to ensure that the product

operates more silent and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems.

1. Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.

2. Adjust the feet until the product stands level and balanced.

3. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand.

A Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged.

Main programmes Depending on the type of fabric, use the following main programmes.• CottonsUse this programme for your cotton laundry (such as bed sheets, duvet and pillowcase sets, towels, bathrobes, underwear, etc.). Your laundry will be washed with vigorous washing action for a longer washing cycle.• SyntheticsUse this programme to wash your synthetic clothes (shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blends, etc.). It washes with a gentle action and has a shorter washing cycle compared to the Cottons programme.For curtains and tulle, use the Synthetic 40˚C programme with prewash and anti-creasing functions selected. As their meshed texture causes excessive foaming, wash the veils/tulle by putting little amount of detergent into the main wash compartment. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment.• WoollensUse this programme to wash your woolen clothes. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tags of your clothes. Use appropriate detergents

for woolens.Additional programmes For special cases, additional programmes are available in the machine.C Additional programmes may differ

according to the model of the machine.

• Cottons EcoYou may wash your normally soiled durable cotton and linen laundry in this programme with the highest energy and water saving compared to all other wash programmes suitable for cottons. Actual water temperature may differ from the declared cycle temperature. Programme duration may automatically be shortened during later stages of the programme if you wash less amount (e.g. ½ capacity or less) of laundry. In this case energy and water consumption will be further decreased giving you the opportunity for a more economical wash. This feature is available for certain models having remaining time display.• Baby+Toddler ClothingUse this programme to wash baby laundry, and the laundry that belongs to allergic persons. Longer heating time and an additional rinsing step provide a higher level of hygiene. • Hand WashUse this programme to wash your woolen/delicate clothes that bear “not machine- washable” tags and for which hand wash is recommended. It washes laundry with a very gentle washing action to not to damage clothes.• Daily QuickUse this programme to wash your lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time.• Dark CareUse this programme to wash your dark coloured laundry or the laundry that you do not want it get faded. Washing is performed with little mechanic action and at low temperatures. It is recommended to use liquid detergent or woolen shampoo for dark coloured laundry.• Mixed FabricsUse this programme to wash your cotton and synthetic clothes together without

6 Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of the product extends and frequently faced problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.Cleaning the detergent drawerClean the detergent drawer at regular intervals (every 4-5 washing cycles) as shown below in order to prevent accumulation of powder detergent in time.

1. Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.

C If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.

2. Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. Wear protective gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid touching of the residues in the drawer with your skin when cleaning.

3. Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.

Cleaning the loading door and the drumResidues of softener, detergent and dirt may accumulate in your machine in time and may cause unpleasant odours and washing complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum Cleaning programme. If your machine is not featured with Drum Cleaning programme, use Cottons-90 programme and select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well. Before starting the programme, put max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent compartment

(compartment nr. II). If the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into compartment nr. II. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the programme has come to an end. C Repeat Drum Cleaning process in

every 2 months.C Use an anti-limescale suitable for the

washing machines. After every washing make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum.

If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.C Foreign metal substances in your

machine will cause rust stains. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool or wire wool.

Cleaning the body and control panelWipe the body of the machine with soapy water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth.Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.A Never use sponge or scrub materials.

These will damage the painted and plastic surfaces.

Cleaning the water intake filtersThere is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be

29 EN

cleaned as they do get dirty.

1. Close the taps.2. Remove the nuts of the water intake

hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves. Clean them with an appropriate brush. If the filters are too dirty, take them out by means of pliers and clean them.

3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.

4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filterThe filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller during discharge of washing water. Thus, the water will be discharged without any problem and the service life of the pump will extend.If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter.In addition, prior to transporting the machine (eg., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.A Foreign substances left in the pump

filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.

In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:1. Unplug the machine to cut off the

supply power.

A Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid burning risk, filter must be cleaned after the water in the machine cools down.

2. Open the filter cap. If the filter cap is composed of two

pieces, press the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out towards yourself.

If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from both sides at the top to open.

C You can remove the filter cover by slightly pushing downwards with a thin plastic tipped tool, through the gap above the filter cover. Do not use metal tipped tools to remove the cover.

3. Some of our products have emergency draining hose and some does not have. Follow the steps below to discharge the water.

Discharging the water when the product has an emergency draining hose:

30 EN

a. Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat

b. Place a large container at the end of the hose. Drain the water into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. When the container is full, block the inlet of the hose by replacing the plug. After the container is emptied, repeat the above procedure to drain the water in the machine completely.

c. When draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place.

d. Turn the pump filter to take it out.Discharging the water when the product does not have an emergency draining hose:

a. Place a large container in front of the filter to catch water from the filter.

b. Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water starts to flow. Fill the flowing water into the container you have placed in front of the filter. Always keep a piece of cloth handy to absorb any spilled water.

c. When the water inside the machine is finished, take out the filter completely by turning it.

4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region.

5. Install the filter.A If your product has a water jet feature,

be sure to fit the filter into its housing in the pump. Never force the filter

while installing it into its housing. Seat the filter into its place completely. Otherwise, water may leak from the filter cap.

6. If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, close the filter cap by pressing on the tab. If it is one piece, seat the tabs in the lower part into their places first, and then press the upper part to close.
